Method

  • step 1

    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the brussels sprouts and cook for 3-4 mins until slightly tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.

  • step 2

    Meanwhile, very gently fry the onions in the oil and half the butter for about 10 mins until soft. Add the garlic and stock cube and cook for 2 mins, stirring, until everything is combined. Remove from the heat.

  • step 3

    Roughly chop the sprouts by hand or in a food processor, then stir them in with the onions and the rest of the butter, along with the double cream and nutmeg. Put back on the heat and cook until the cream is bubbling. Season to taste. Toss in the chestnuts and sprinkle over a little extra nutmeg to serve.

Can this be made in advance?

I'm making this side vegan but can only find vegan single cream - will it be fine to use this rather than double cream?

Thanks for your question. We haven't tried this with vegan cream so would suggest checking the side of the pack to see what uses it is recommended for. Alternatively, we have a selection of other sprout dishes here: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/collection/christmas-sprout

Nice enough but way too heavy to serve with an already substantial meal. I have always loved sprouts but we grew them at home ad this makes a huge difference. I love them simply steamed with a roast because I want to taste them, not cover them up. This recipe is nice served with a slice of…
